Procedure performed: tamis event description: [surgeon's name redacted] (surgeon) was using gelpoint path (tamis).He has performed approximately 40 tamis cases to date.This is the email i received from [name redacted], [facility]."we had issues with the short tamis port in theatres today, [surgeon's name redacted] was operating, and one attachment came off from the port and went inside the rectal area of the patient and [surgeon's name redacted] had to look for it to bring it out. we have done a datix and kept the equipment for you to investigate if possible as it would have been dangerous if it goes inside the patient and we were unable to locate it or if we didn't realize its been missing from the port because it is a plastic/rubber bit, it wouldn't have shown in the x ray either i assume." additional information received from field team member via email on 18sept23: i spoke with [name redacted] on thursday 14th september , who was the scrub nurse during the tamis case.She said it was a very complicated procedure, with a large and spread-out polyps.She reported that the case was very bloody and oozy.She explained that due to this, the procedure took longer than normal, and that there was a lot of instrument exchange, and lots of fluid / fogging on the scope lens.The surgeon, [name redacted], was trying to clean the 10mm sleeve to rectify the problems with fluid / debris on the scope.He was cleaning the sleeve with a swab on lap graspers.The surgeon reported gas leakage and after checking the seal of the gelseal cap, the smoke evacuation ports and the isb attachment, they deduced that one of the sleeves was leaking gas.They identified the sleeve that was leaking, and replaced it with the spare sleeve that is included in the box.Upon further inspection of the sleeve that was replaced, they noticed that an internal part was missing.This part was then retrieved from the patient.Additional information received from tm via email on 06oct23: concomitant device: epix smoke evacuation probe cw002, 10mm scope, grasper.No pictures are available, but the pieces will be in the box available for collection the health care professional is not aware of any separation/detachment caused by torqueing/angulation of instrumentation, although is aware that there was repeated instrument exchange during the procedure.The health care professional doesn¿t know exactly when this occurred during the procedure intervention: attachment retrieved and sleeve replacement patient status: no clinical impact on the patient".

The event unit was returned to applied medical for evaluation.Visual inspection confirmed that the shield, an internal clear plastic component of the sleeve, was dislodged from the sleeve.Based on the condition of the returned unit, it is likely that the shield dislodgement was caused by non-axial insertion or removal of asymmetrical instrumentation through the sleeve.Applied medical¿s instructions for use (ifu) states, "all instruments should be centered axially when inserted through the seal.".
